Finally Finished: The Teal Quilt

After all the problems, the Teal Quilt is finally finished. Whoo-hoo! 

This was more of a challenge than I anticipated. 

First, it's a remake of the Black and Tan quilt I made last year, but making it monochromatic meant finding just the right fabric hue, value, and intensity. Shopping ensued. The placement of darks and mediums is crucial for the dark diagonal grid framework to emerge. Squint at the photo and you'll see it more clearly. 

Second, and more frustrating, the quilting was a nightmare, as I've written about in several recent posts. Thanks to much troubleshooting by the ladies on PCQ's Long Arm Committee, the issues were resolved and I was able to quilt it. 

I'm keeping this quilt for me. PCQ is having a quilt show in March, and I'm entering it. It feels good to have this one done and I'm pleased with how it turned out.
